Dogged. Determined. Persistent. Intuitive. All Dyslexic Thinking traits that helped inspirational activist, Erin Brockovich (a single mum and file clerk secretary at an American law firm) to take on the might of a utility company, PG&E.
Their use of carcinogenic chemicals was poisoning residents of Hinkley. Even when she was told to drop the case by a powerful US law firm, her determination to challenge the status quo and right a wrong, drove her to persist and win a settlement of $333million for more than 600 residents. It was the largest direct action lawsuit in U.S. history. She went on to become a world-leading environmental activist.
